Tube and Pipe Rolling | SpringerLink

It is a conical, two-high cross-rolling piercing mill with an active rotating guide disk and a large feeding angle (Fig. 2). The diameter of the tone-type roll increases gradually along the piercing deformation zone, so the tangential shear stress in the deformation process of the tube blank is reduced to a great extent and the rotary cross ...

Use of Finite-Element Modeling to Improve the Piercing

The authors evaluate the degree of agreement between results obtained from piercing continuous-cast semifinished products on a cross-rolling piercing mill and the indices of this process determined by finiteelement modeling. New piercing-mill equipment has been developed to make thin-walled hollows. Computer software is used to evaluate the optimality …

Seamless carbon steel pipe cross rolling process

The cross-rolling process for seamless carbon steel pipes is a technique where the material rotates, deforms along its own axis, and moves forward between two or three rollers, which rotate in the same direction but have intersecting or inclined longitudinal axes. This method, positioned between longitudinal and cross rolling, is crucial in the production of seamless …
